What do you mean by "pnx8550 can have customized copy of cp0_hpt routines" ? Do you mean that it should copy the whole clock event driver ?
It seems to me that using cp0 hpt as a clock event only is a valid usage...
Well, I thought the customized cp0 clockevent codes (custom .set_next_event routine is needed anyway, isn't it?) would be small enough. But I did not investigate deeply. If generic cp0 hpt can handle this beast without much bloating, it would be great.
IMO, the generic code should only have the standard MIPS count/compare support and let the platform code to initialize it if it choses so and also register its own specific clock[source|event] devices if it choses so -- i.e *not* what the current clocksource code does...
